Sleep after transmeridian flights. 1986

A N Nicholson, and P A Pascoe, and M B Spencer, and B M Stone, and T Roehrs, and T Roth

Nocturnal sleep and daytime sleep latencies, recorded electroencephalographically after westward and eastward flights across the North Atlantic involving time zone shifts of 5 h, were influenced by the time of the flight and by subsequent displacement of the rest period. After the westward flight there was sleep disturbance during the latter part of the first night. However, there was persistent disturbance of sleep after the eastward flight. A rapidly eliminated hypnotic may be useful for the first night or two after a westward flight and for a few nights after an overnight eastward flight.
